Chapter 816: Chapter 406: The Deities of the Twelve Cities_3

[’Sherlock Holmes’ has joined the group chat.]

Everyone responded promptly.

[Baron of Hell: Haha, I always felt the City Lords should have a group, it’s indeed much more convenient this way!]

[Yakov: All big shots here...]

[Sherlock Holmes: @Subtle Grace and Fragrance. If I may ask, is this City Lord of City of Eternal Night with the Ghost Captain?]

[Solomon: I’m also quite curious. This mysterious figure actually managed to outdo the Tyrant and his gang. Impressive!]

[Holy Light Nana: Popping in.]

[Baron of Hell: I just privately messaged the Tyrant to ask about this, got no reply. Looks like the blow was heavy, hahaha...]

[Son of Heaven: ...]

[Sherlock Holmes: @Subtle Grace and Fragrance. Why is the big shot silent?]

[Baron of Hell: Seems like the big shot is rather aloof...]

...

The City Lords had just joined and were already chatting away.

Mu You turned to look at Little Ya beside him, who wasn’t being aloof but was too nervous to know what to type...

[Ghost Captain: Stop asking, she’s busy and hasn’t looked at her phone.]

Mu You replied for her.

[Solomon: Busy and hasn’t looked at her phone? You deities are indeed together!]

[Sherlock Holmes: Got any gossip...]

[Blue Beard: I’m actually more curious about the ’Red Sickle Girl.’ From what I saw during the tower break-in, you two seemed quite close... I didn’t expect her not to become a City Lord...]

...

The group chat gradually veered in a strange direction. Only at times like these could one feel that these lofty City Lords were also just ordinary people.

[Ghost Captain: Alright, hold off on the gossip for now, let’s talk about something serious.]

Mu You had to forcefully steer the conversation back on track.

Fortunately, those capable of becoming City Lords also knew what was important. Once Mu You spoke up, the channel immediately quieted down.

[Ghost Captain: This matter started with intelligence provided by the Son of Heaven: Below the seventh level of the Underground City, there is a mysterious space that holds the biggest secret of Sky City.]

[Ghost Captain: So after Dawn City emerged, I upgraded at the fastest speed and opened the Underground City right away... And just yesterday evening, when the City of Eternal Night emerged, I finally entered that mysterious space...]

Mu You first briefly clarified the background.

Just those few sentences were enough to pique everyone’s interest.

[Baron of Hell: So... what’s inside?]

[Ghost Captain: A God’s Corpse.]

Mu You didn’t keep them in suspense any longer and revealed it straight away.

[Baron of Hell: God’s... Corpse? Are you saying... the corpse of a deity?]

[Ghost Captain: Exactly, a complete deity’s corpse. That is the source of power for Sky City.]

The channel fell silent for a while, no one spoke, evidently, everyone was digesting this astonishing news: was Sky City literally running on a deity as fuel?

[Son of Heaven: So that’s how it is.]

After a moment, the Son of Heaven was the first to recover.

[Son of Heaven: So, buried under Dawn City is the God of Order, right?]

[Ghost Captain: Yes.]

At this question, everyone also came to a realization. The God of Order was the statue established in Dawn City after its upgrade to level four. At that time, they had wondered why each city’s statues seemed different. What was the connection between Dawn City and the God of Order? Now, everything was clear: the statue of each city corresponded to the deity buried beneath it.

Of course, the god’s corpse was only a basic secret; what really mattered to the City Lords was the divine inheritance.

Mu You then announced the news about the Divine Skin and how the City Lords could receive inheritances from their respective deities.

This piece of intelligence truly exploded like a bombshell.

[Solomon: Divine Skin?!]

Solomon was the first to exclaim, as his City of Dawn had recently opened its Underground City. Moreover, with Dawn City’s pioneering experiences as a guide, they had made much quicker progress in clearing their Underground City. Perhaps in a few more days, he could also unlock this space and undertake the Divine Skin task.

[Blue Beard: Damn, now we’re really in a great spot!]

[Baron of Hell: Am I about to become a god?!]

[Jiu You: So, does this mean... moving forward, all the building strategies for Sky City should be adjusted to prioritize upgrades, to open the Underground City as soon as possible?]

[Ghost Captain: There’s no need to rush that, because to obtain the Divine Skin, you need to complete two difficult tasks first, and these tasks can also be prepared in advance before the Underground City has been opened.]

[Son of Heaven: Find a new God’s Corpse, and divine artifacts corresponding to our respective deities, right...]

[Son of Heaven: Let’s not talk about the God’s Corpse, as we obviously can’t target each other’s Sky Cities for that; it’s all down to chance. But as for the divine artifacts, there is no conflict of interest between us, so maybe we could cooperate on this.]

[Ghost Captain: Yes, that’s why I suggest we all share the names of our respective statues of gods. It’s better for eleven people to search than just one.]

It was then that Mu You put forward his main purpose for the day: to see which gods others had and to look for patterns.

[Solomon: Then let’s go in order.]

[Solomon: Dawn City of the Great God is the God of Order, everyone knows now. As for me, the statue in the City of Dawn is the ’God of Creation’, full name ’God of Creation and Life’.]

Solomon was the first to respond to Mu You.

Others did not conceal either, each in turn reported their statues of gods. After all, the information would automatically become public once a city reaches level four.

[No Shadow: Sunrise City, statue ’War God’, full name ’God of Earth and War’.]

[Son of Heaven: Sun City, statue ’God of Light’, full name ’God of Sanctity and Light’.]

[Baron of Hell: Next is me, Sun City, statue ’God of Fire’, full name ’God of Flames and Forging’.]

[Blue Beard: Oh, Sun City has the Fire God, so I’m your opposite. Sunset City, statue ’Water God’, full name ’God of Oceans and Weather’.]

[Jiu You: Dusk City, statue ’Wind God’, full name ’God of Hurricanes and Harvest’.]

[Holy Light Nana: Twilight City, statue ’Thunder God’, full name ’God of Thunder and Destruction’.]

[Sherlock Holmes: Starlight City, statue ’Goddess of Luck’, full name ’Goddess of Blessings and Luck’.]

[Yakov: Dark Night City, statue ’Moon Goddess’, full name ’Goddess of Illusions and the Moon’.]

[Jane: City of Eternal Night, Black Night Goddess, full name... ’Goddess of Curses and the Night’...]

After everyone finished reporting, Mu You paid special attention to Yakov’s message.

There really was a ’Moon Goddess’...

Turning back, Mu You then looked at the messages from the others.

From the eleven deities known so far, it was quite clear that they were divided into three parts: the first part consisted of Dawn and the City of Dawn. The full title of the statue in his Dawn City was ’God of Order and Rules’, and the City of Dawn had the ’God of Creation and Life’, which by their names alone seemed a notch above the other deities.

The second part ranged from Sunrise City to Twilight City; these six were all elemental gods, corresponding to ’Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Thunder’.

After that came the third part, the last three cities, Starlight, Dark Night, and City of Eternal Night, corresponding to three goddesses: the Goddess of Luck, the Moon Goddess, and the Goddess of the Night.

Mu You pondered a moment. According to this pattern, the one mysterious Dawn City, ranked below Dawn City and the City of Dawn, was likely also categorized as a first-rank deity.
